Crazy neighbors.

So my I finally shook the hand of one of my crazy neighbors. I took a leap and said "Hello" and introduced myself. She was attempting to weed her side of the driveway. It was about 5:30 PM on the first day of school. She was already liquored up or high on something. I had never saw her up close before. She has that Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer look to her nose. Sadly, I think she is a serious alcoholic. Surprisingly polite and well spoken however. Her "absence" from parenting her kids or being present in the house (ever) was explained by the fact that she "works three jobs". Hmmm.... at least now I know their names.
